1862-S Liberty Double Eagle, MS62
Rarely Seen This Fine

1862-S $20 MS62 NGC. The 1862-S Liberty double eagle was produced in large numbers, with a reported mintage of 854,173 pieces. The coins were released into circulation and heavily used in both foreign and domestic trade. Few high quality examples were saved, and the issue was extremely rare in high grade before a number of nice coins surfaced in modern shipwreck finds. Despite the increased supply of high-grade coins, the 1862-S remains a condition rarity at the MS62 grade level, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.

This spectacular MS62 example exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, with just a touch of the usual softness on the hair above the brow. The lightly marked orange-gold surfaces are lustrous and appealing. This coin will be a welcome addition to a fine collection or Registry Set. Census: 5 in 62 (1 in 62+), 4 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N7079)
